The Haske Nupe and former Minister of Information and National Orientation, Prof. Jerry Gana has called on Nigerians to always embrace peace and the need to remain united rather than engage in violence.
Prof. Gana made this statement while speaking to journalists at the end of a three-day Synod of the Anglican Church in Busu, Lavun Local Government Area of Niger State on Sunday. According to him, Synod was meant for big churches, saying that “we are small but big”.
The former Minister who expressed gratitude to God for the honour given to his hometown of Busu, a small Christian community known to be very dogged and committed for hosting the Synod, also thanked the Muslim community for their hospitality and being supportive. Adding that, the entire Busu is together and that’s exactly what the nation needs: togetherness.
On the State of the Nation, Gana said Nigerians have no business being too poor due to the abundance of natural and human resources that abound in this country. Stressing that we are poor because as a people, we do not do the right thing in a sustained way. Instead, we go about strategizing about killing each other because of religion which can invoke the curse of God on a nation.
Furthermore, Prof. Gana advised that we should come together, honour and love one another. Adding that, we should work together and have productivity to move Niger State and the Nation forward, he said.
